[Need Help] Configuring gluetun with containers with custom ports

[ghost]

Hey there

So I already have a few containers set up through gluetun. But in all those containers, I'm mostly using the default ports of the containers.

Now I've found a new container, that already uses one of the ports that I already mapped through gluetun.

In the new container, I can set custom ports using a .env file.. The docker-compose.yml of the container looks like this:

version: "3.2"

services:
  geoip-updater:
    image: crazymax/geoip-updater:latest
    volumes:
      - "./data/geoip:/data"
    env_file:
      - "./geoip-updater.env"
    restart: always

  rtorrent-rutorrent:
    image: crazymax/rtorrent-rutorrent:latest
    expose:
      - "${RT_DHT_PORT}/udp"
      - "${XMLRPC_PORT}"
      - "${RUTORRENT_PORT}"
      - "${WEBDAV_PORT}"
      - "${RT_INC_PORT}"
    ports:
      - target: ${RT_DHT_PORT}
        published: ${RT_DHT_PORT}
        protocol: udp
      - target: ${RUTORRENT_PORT}
        published: ${RUTORRENT_PORT}
        protocol: tcp
      - target: ${WEBDAV_PORT}
        published: ${WEBDAV_PORT}
        protocol: tcp
      - target: ${RT_INC_PORT}
        published: ${RT_INC_PORT}
        protocol: tcp
    env_file:
      - "rtorrent-rutorrent.env"
      - ".env"
    volumes:
      - "./data:/data"
      - "./downloads:/downloads"
      - "./passwd:/passwd"
    ulimits:
      nproc: 65535
      nofile:
        soft: 32000
        hard: 40000
    restart: always

  rtorrent-logs:
    image: bash
    command: bash -c 'tail -f /log/*.log'
    depends_on:
      - rtorrent-rutorrent
    volumes:
      - "./data/rtorrent/log:/log"
    restart: always

and the .env file looks like so:

RT_DHT_PORT=6881
XMLRPC_PORT=8000
RUTORRENT_PORT=8080
WEBDAV_PORT=9000
RT_INC_PORT=50000

Problem is, I have other containers that use port 6881, 8000, and 8080.
I can obviously edit them in the .env file, but that won't work if I have to pass all the ports through the gluetun PORTS?
Can I pass through the .env file to gluetun, and make the rtorrent-rutorrent use those?? Sorry, but I'm relatively new to docker 😨

How do I make this work with gluetun?

I think I found a solution..

Setting the environment options in the .env file and then moving the ports to gluetun seems to work somewhat.

If there's a better way, please enlighten me. Do I need to put in the expose part in gluetun as well?

While I don't have exact answer to you as I'm fairly new to docker too, I have a working gluetun stack with full media server + all necessary "arr mateys yohoho and a bottle of rum" indexing & downloading services and I forward all ports of all services via gluetun so maybe you could adapt from this:
